The color of a person’s lips is not the same as their skin tone. Its color is red, pink or similar. Ever wondered why this happens. The answer has been given by Noel Cameron, Professor of Human Biology at Loughborough University in England. He says that lips are a very sensitive part of the body. There are many such functions of this that people usually do not know. Know why their color is like this and what are its functions.
According to the report of Live Science, the skin of the lips is much thinner than the skin of the body. Behind its skin there are millions of blood vessels which are red in color. This works to make the lips appear red. Now let us understand why the color of the skin does not rise on the lips.
According to Noel, there are 16 layers of cells on the skin of the face, while there are only 3 to 4 layers on the lips. Hence their color is lighter. Apart from this, the number of melanocytes responsible for the color of the skin is less on the skin of the lips. Therefore, the color that the skin gets from the melanocytes does not get to the lips. Due to the thinning of the skin of the lips, the red blood vessels attached to it give it a red or pink color.
According to Noel, there are many lip jobs. For example, helping with eating and breathing. Apart from this, human lips also play an important role in human speech. Whenever a person speaks something, only the muscles of the lips help in his movement.
For example, there is movement in both the lips for the pronunciation of P. At the same time, there is movement in the teeth and lips for F. If there are no muscles in the lips, then it will be difficult for a human to speak and eat.
